NATPE, the industry convention that for decades brought TV executives together (and at one point was the largest syndication sales marketplace in the nation), is folding. Canada-based publishers Brunico Communications, which acquired the NATPE assets in 2023, announced Tuesday that it would no longer continue with its U.S. events effective next year, including NATPE Global, Realscreen Summit and Kidscreen Summit.
As part of the shutdown, NATPE executive director Claire Macdonald and Kidscreen publisher Jocelyn Christie are exiting Brunico.
